mu
Tools for agents
Overview
Mu is an MCP server and web app for agents and humans. It provides access to the real world through MCP for the agents
and let's humans browse or interact with same content in a web app. Access news, web search, mail,
markets, weather, video, places, images, files, calendar, contacts and more.
Use it live at micro.mu, or self-host.
Usage
{
"mcpServers": {
"mu": {
"url": "https://micro.mu/mcp"
}
}
}
Create a Personal Access Token at
/token and send it as Authorization: Bearer.
curl -X POST https://micro.mu/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
Scope the connection to the services you need:
https://micro.mu/mcp?tools=news,web,mail
That's what gets listed to your agent. Everything else is still callable.
Browse the tools: micro.mu/tools — every tool,
grouped by service, with what each call costs.
See MCP docs for the protocol details.
Grouped the way /tools and the sidebar group them —
one row per service, named for it.

The app
The server includes a web app with a home screen. Cards render each service at a glance (headlines,
prices, weather, unread mail) and the agent sits inline to act on what you're
looking at. Logged-out visitors get a public version with live data.
An LLM — Claude, Atlas Cloud (DeepSeek), or a local Ollama / OpenAI-compatible
endpoint — calls the services as tools, composes answers, and keeps per-user
memory across sessions.
Sign in with a username and password, a passkey (WebAuthn), or Google.
For the CLI, generate a Personal Access Token at /token.
CLI
Every tool is a mu subcommand. The same binary runs the server (mu --serve)
and the CLI.
mu news_list
mu news_search "ai safety"
mu web_search "claude code"
mu agent "what is the btc price?"
mu weather_forecast --lat 51.5 --lon -0.12
mu wallet
mu help
The CLI is registry-driven — a tool added to the server automatically becomes a
CLI command.
mu login
mu config set token xxx
export MU_TOKEN=xxx
See CLI docs.
Discord & Telegram
Talk to the agent from Discord or Telegram — questions, markets, news, all from
chat. Join the Discord
Discord: /agent, /news, /markets, /weather, /mail, /social, /blog,
/video, /search, /apps, /balance, /usage.
Telegram: /agent, /ask, /news, /markets, /weather, /usage.
Setup for both is in Installation.
Self-hosting
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro/mu/main/install.sh | sh
git clone https://github.com/micro/mu && cd mu
docker compose up
git clone https://github.com/micro/mu
cd mu && go install
mu --serve
First-run setup
Open http://localhost:8080 and Mu walks you through a one-time setup: create
your admin account and pick an AI provider (Claude, Atlas Cloud, or a local
Ollama / OpenAI-compatible endpoint). That's enough to have a working agent.
For terminal setup. Configure the provider headless, then start the server:
Or set everything by hand:
export ADMIN=you@example.com
export ATLAS_API_KEY=xxx
mu --serve
Once you're admin, every other key (YouTube, Brave search, weather, mail/DKIM,
Google sign-in…) is configurable from /admin/env in the browser.
See Installation guide.
Configuration
Customise feeds, prompts and cards by editing JSON files:
service/news/feeds.json — RSS news feeds
service/chat/prompts.json — chat topics
home/cards.json — home screen cards
service/video/channels.json — YouTube channels
service/places/locations.json — saved locations
See Environment Variables for all options.
